Put the tailgate, tail lights, hidden latches, and rear bumper on last weekend.

Sorry double post... Stupid phone.

**jayoldschool** · 10-28-2013, 12:15 PM

Lovin the slot mags! Nice score.

endlessearth · 10-28-2013, 06:19 PM

Look at what I had made for my truck. Since my last picture posts have been a TKO500 and a 350 block...well, this gives you an idea where this will end up.

jbgroby · 10-28-2013, 06:49 PM

Damn that's funny

Glad you like. Originally I was going to do "fast" and "f*cking fast" but I have kids so I decided to be more correct about it.

1963c-10 · 11-02-2013, 03:55 PM

Driver door swapped out today. Nice to have a rust free door installed over my original which need inner/outer lower sections welded in. Fixed the broken window regualtor issue that popped up Monday too. Ill get some pics up later. 2hr start to finish and alignment/fit are great.

It also upgraded my windows to metal framed.

coulter · 11-03-2013, 04:18 PM

I fabbed up a trim piece to extent the dash to hide the firewall. Im going to cover up the ignition box too once i get some more stainless pieces. then gotta polish everything

jbgroby · 11-03-2013, 05:32 PM

Well the day finally ARRIVED, we loaded up and brought the replacement bed to the painters! The only thing left is to but in the step sides inserts. I decided to use them afterall.

TJ's Chevy · 11-03-2013, 06:00 PM

Well, pulled my BRAND NEW carb off my truck today. Taking it back to Autozone to do an exchange for another new one. So I get my first one, bolt it on. 30 miles of driving it starts seeping fuel outta the carb gasket and accelerator shaft. DANG! And that was a BRAND NEW carb! Wish me luck! Hoping my exchange carb will work!

TxRat · 11-03-2013, 06:08 PM

Started redoing the exhaust on my 66 today

Old headers

New headers

Modifying the crossmember

**jayoldschool** · 11-03-2013, 06:53 PM

Put the bed back on my truck. After I picked it up off the driveway. We had a windstorm, and it blew backwards off the sawhorses. It's bent at the bottoms, and the taillight panels, but it could have been much worse. My heart sank when I came home and saw it pancaked on the driveway. It actually looks ok back on the truck.

1963c-10 · 11-03-2013, 10:31 PM

hate to hear about the damage after all the work you put into it. ive been there myself and its no fun. hope it works out ok for you.

**jayoldschool** · 11-03-2013, 10:45 PM

It will work out. Looks better now that the bed is (temporarily) back on the truck. It sat on those stands for three months while I worked on it. Big thunderstorms, etc. No problems. One wind storm with 50mph gusts knocked it over. I did learn that it is much easier to put the bed on from the side with the engine hoist. Didn't even move the truck. I took it off the back last time, rolling the truck out from underneath. I should have put it on myself a couple of weeks ago. You know what they say about hindsight...

endlessearth · 11-04-2013, 06:12 PM

How about some Corvette manifolds and a hole for a manifold fill pipe drilled into a brand new Edelbrock to go with that 355 small block I posted a week or so ago?

Meanwhile the patient waits for the new plant.

Did I mention yet that my daily hay hauler is turning into a lumpy 4.56 geared, Tremec backed 3/4 ton long bed sleeper that will still haul hay and feed to our barn while being a stop light villain, push starting dragsters at the Vintage drags and burning up the drag strip on the weekend for giggles?
